You have to commend Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore for taking on the issue of human trafficking with a new series of ads featuring a host of their celebrity pals. “Too bad the ads are completely befuddling,” complains Richard Lawson of Gawker. “See, Real Men don’t buy sex slaves. So … no more sex slaves then, because Sean Penn made a grilled cheese? Right.” Next time consult a PR firm guys, and “make sure you’re not accidentally making light of the problem.”

It seems to me that if he's using an iron to make grilled cheese sandwich then he has no idea how to use an iron, or a frying pan for that matter. And wasn't Sean Penn's recent divorce from Robin Wright prompted by him being caught with a Russian hooker?
